-70 Years Later-

"Oi! Hebo, where are you?" Miyoko called out, searching for her imp servant that ran off when she was attacked by a youkai that was now scattered across the field. "Hebo? Come on out; the youkai has been destroyed!" She waited for a few minutes, but when he didn't come to her, she began to worry. "Hebo!"

The bushes shook a little before the imp emerged with his hands cupped around something. "For Miyoko-sama," he muttered, bowing at her feet. He kept one hand wrapped around whatever was there, & used his other hand to point at the bushes he came from, still looking at her. "Found, bushes..." He held his hand that the item was in up to her. "You get."

Miyoko tilted her head to the side & smiled down at the imp, kneeling down to him. "Thank you, Hebo," she said as she carefully took the pink rock from the imp's now open hand. Her brow furrowed as she rolled it around in the palm of her hand. "What is this you found Hebo?"

"Miyoko-sama, no like?" Hebo frowned.

"No Hebo, I do like it. I've just never seen something of this beauty before. And it has a strange power flowing from it."

"You keep?"

"Yes Hebo, I keep." Miyoko took her coin pouch from the inside of her kimono & untied the knot that held the pouch closed. "Thank you, very much Hebo," she said as she put the pink rock insdie her coin pouch, tying it closed with another one of her knots.

"What do you mean you lost the jewel shard?" Naraku yelled at Kohaku. "Where did you lose it?"

"At the edge of the Eastern forest," Kohaku answered, lowering his head & looking to the side. "Forgive me Naraku-sama."

"Come here Kohaku," Naraku said. Kohaku obeyed & moved to Naraku's side, getting on his knees. Naraku pulled the boy's face to his own & kissed him, sliding his tongue into the boy's mouth. He ended the kiss after a few moments & pushed Kohaku back slightly. "Now, go tell Kagura & Kanna to make up a new room. If someone has the Shikon shard in possession, I will want them here."

"Yes Naraku-sama," Kohaku said before he rose & left the room.

"Inu Yasha, what's wrong with you lately?" Kagome asked, kneeling beside him infront of the fire. "You've been acting so strange."

"It's nothing you should care about," he muttered in response, holding Tetsusaiga tightly in his hand; his body was visibly tense.

"Inu Yasha, would you tell me things for once?"

"Why bother?"

"Because I'm helping you find & retrieve shards of the Shikon no Tama?"

"That you shattered!" He growled, looking at her.

Kagome glared back at him as she stood up. "Osuwari!" She spat, sending the hanyou crashing to the ground. "I'm tired of you rubbing that in my face! Everytime I mention the Shikon no Tama, you feel the urge to rub it in! I'm going home!"

"Good riddance!" Inu Yasha huffed out, immediately regretting his words as soon as they came out. A series of "osuwari"s followed from Kagome & he soon found himself in a hole formed by his body.

"Hmph!" Kagome huffed before walking off.

Miyoko leaned against the closest tree, panting hard to try & catch her breath while she could. -I have to get away from here!- She thought to herself. -Why am I being attacked anyway?!- She listened closely for movement, but heard nothing, so she made a run for a part of the forest that was familiar to her.

"Fuujin no Mai!" Came a voice from less that twenty feet behind her.

Miyoko cried out in pain as she was hit by a few of the blades she was attacked with, making her fall to the ground. She tried to move, but found herself unable to. "No!" She cried out, feeling the feeling in her legs leave her, letting her know that her spine was damaged from the last blow.

"Pathetic hanyou," came a chuckle from above her. "Did you honestly think you could escape me?"

"Why have you attacked me? I have done nothing to you at all!"

"You have something that belongs to my Naraku-sama, & he wants it back, along with the owner. That just happens to be you."

"I have only my belongings!" By now, tears were rolling down her cheeks from the pain that was still in her body, & the fact that it was possible she may not walk again was weighing down on her mind.

"You don't know what you have, do you?" The voice chuckled. "My name is Kagura, & I am the wind sorceress. Tell me your name, or I will kill you now."

"My name is Miyoko, current half ruler of the Eastern Inu Youkai lands."

"Half ruler?"

"I rule along side my Tai Youkai father Yukio-sama, but I am not his mate. I only help watch & protect our lands, but he is the true ruler."

"Shouldn't your job fall on your mother?"

"My mother is dead. She died thirty years ago when she was giving birth to my younger sister who never lived to be named. It was a pointless death."

"Yes, but all ningen deserve to die." Kagura picked Miyoko up & pulled a feather from her own head & created her feather ride with it.

"Where are you taking me?"

"I am taking you to Naraku-sama so you can return to him what you have of his. I'm sure he will be happy to have it back."

-2 Days Later-

Silver-white hair danced in the wind even though some of it was being held down by rain that was pouring from the sky. Sesshoumaru had been walking non-stop for weeks now, not even stopping for Rin or Jaken to rest; so for this he had the pack animal carry them when they needed rest. There had been a familiar scent being carried by the winds for a while now, so he was searching for its owner.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, there is a river ahead & I'm thirsty & in need of a bath; can we please stop at it?" Rin asked, walking beside him.

The youkai looked down at the young girl that was being washed by the rain. "Rin, the rain is washing you. Lean your head back & drink the rain."

"But Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin whined, tugging on his hakama.

"Rin."

"Yes Sesshoumaru-sama," she said slowly, lowering her head.

Hearing a buzzing noise, Sesshoumaru looked up, ignoring the rain drops that fell in his eyes, & looked for the source of the sound, sneering when he saw it; a saimyosho that flew above & ahead of him.
